RE: EIAF#3120 -Weld County Roads
Dear Commissioner Kirkmeyer:
The State Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Advisory Committee met in Grand Junction recently to
review applications for funding. This was the first meeting of the committee since the fall of 1995 when it
revised the program guidelines in several areas, including re-emphasizing that priority will be given to
applications demonstrating a relationship to energy and mineral impacts. The changes were the result of
expressions of concern from state and local officials and representatives of the energy and mineral industry.
Competition for the limited amount of funding available was intense. Almost a third of the applications could
not be funded. Many more were funded at less than the amount requested. This level of competition for
funding will likely continue in the months and years ahead.
With regard to your specific application,the committee,recommended funding for your project. I concur with
the committee's recommendation and am offering to enter into a contract for a grant in the amount of
$175,215.
Please contact Don Sandoval at(970)679-4501 for more information on how to proceed. As you know,
no state funds should be obligated before a grant contract is fully executed. Expenditures made prior to
the contract being fully executed may not be reimbursed by the state.
Good luck with your project. Let us know if we can be of any assistance.
SincerpI
